White Sox 10, Blue Jays 6: Adam Dunn went 4-for-4 with a pair of long home runs and five RBIs as Chicago outslugged visiting Toronto on a foggy night at U.S. Cellular Field.
Dunn's first four-hit effort since May 11, 2011 made a winner of Nate Jones (2-4), who was part of a White Sox relief corps that kept Toronto off the scoreboard over the final five innings. Chicago starter Dylan Axelrod surrendered six runs on eight hits over four innings but was bailed out by a quintet of relievers as the White Sox won their third in a row.
Toronto starter R.A. Dickey (5-8) continued to struggle as he was tagged for seven runs on 10 hits with no strikeouts over five innings. Jose Bautista homered twice and Colby Rasmus added a solo shot for the Blue Jays, who dropped their second straight following a three-game winning streak.
After Bautista's first blast - a two-run, opposite-field shot - put Toronto ahead 2-0 in the first, the White Sox surged ahead in the second on a Hector Gimenez sacrifice fly and Alejandro De Aza's two-run single up the middle. Dunn extended the lead in the third with a mammoth solo shot over the center-field wall, his 15th of the year.
Bautista vaulted Toronto back in front the following inning, hammering an Axelrod offering into the left-field seats to score Maicer Izturis and Munenori Kawasaki ahead of him. Dunn followed suit with a three-run shot to right-center in the bottom half of the fourth, capping his second multi-homer game of the season and putting the White Sox ahead for good.
GAME NOTEBOOK: The teams waited out a fog delay of one hour, six minutes in the bottom of the third inning. ... Dickey has surrendered at least six runs in five of his 14 starts as a Blue Jay after doing so just once with the New York Mets in 2012. ... Dunn's first home run traveled an estimated 452 feet, while his second was a 432-foot blast.
